WGSS 128 - Queering Migration: Sexuality, Gender, and Race in Migration and Borders

(SOC 133 same as WGSS 128) This course explores migration, transnationalism, and border crossings through critical queer and critical race perspectives. Throughout the course, we will investigate the concept of queering borders in which the categories of identity and subjectivity are deconstructed and reformed as individuals situate themselves in multiple locations physically, symbolically, and discursively. Students will gain a thorough understanding of the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality in regards to borders, transnationalism, and migration.
